I cried today, for the sick and lonely
I cried today, for the sad and tired
I cried today, but the feeling only
Left me open and strangely wired
I cried today, but crying might
Determine the soul to want to fight
Relieve the mind and clear the heart
Give the spirit a place to start
Crying erases a lot of stress
It eases the mind and I feel blessed
To know that the humbled now can rest
To this I now can attest
The weak and strong now have a voice
All mankind has a choice
I cried today, and I find
I cried today for all mankind
J. A. Whitehead
